The availability of large-scale public datasets, such as NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus, International Cancer Genome Consortium, and The Cancer Genome Atlas, has significantly boosted many scientific discoveries. However, to analyze and interpret these vast datasets, sophisticated bioinformatic tools are often necessary. Phantasus is a user-friendly web application designed to streamline gene expression analysis. By integrating data loading, normalization, filtering, enrichment pathways analysis, and principal component analysis, Phantasus enables researchers to promptly investigate and evaluate complex gene expression patterns. This tool simplifies the identification of differentially expressed genes and the discovery of novel biological insights. Here, we demonstrate how Phantasus can be utilized for gene expression analysis in glioblastoma (GBM), the most common primary malignant brain tumour in adults. Specifically, we focus on the role of purinergic signaling, with particular emphasis on the P2RX7 mRNA coding for the P2X7 receptor (P2RX7). To illustrate our proposal, we analyzed the expression of genes related to purinergic signaling in GBM patients stratified by high and low levels of P2RX7 expression. By harnessing Phantasus, researchers can further explore and navigate the nuances of gene regulation and its impact on human health and diseases.</p>","PeriodicalId":20952,"journal":{"name":"Purinergic Signalling","volume":" ","pages":"1049-1063"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12595216/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143616926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Purinergic transmission is prominent in mechanisms of crosstalk between enteric neurons and glia where enteric glia exhibit high responsiveness to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) through P2Y₁ receptors and neurons to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through P2X₃ receptors. Despite functional data suggesting that enteric glia are the primary site of P2Y₁ expression in the ENS, gene sequencing suggests that P2Y₁ expression is more enriched in neurons than glia. The reason for the mismatch between genomic and functional data is unclear but could involve co-expression of inhibitory P2Y₁₂ receptors in neurons. We addressed this issue by studying the expression and function of P2Y₁ and P2Y₁₂ receptors in the mouse ENS using live immunolabeling and calcium imaging techniques. The data show that ADP drives activity among enteric glia and neurons in the myenteric plexus. Interestingly, inhibiting P2Y₁₂ activity increased neuron responses to ADP and overall spontaneous activity among enteric neurons and glia while decreasing the magnitude of glial responses to ADP. Investigating the location of the receptors involved revealed P2Y₁ receptor expression by both neurons and glia, while P2Y₁₂ receptor expression was minimal in the ENS. Instead, P2Y₁₂ expression was enriched in the surrounding muscularis macrophages. Macrophages positive for P2Y₁₂ overlapped with CD163 positive subsets that have known inhibitory influences over myenteric neurocircuits. Together, these data suggest that macrophage P2Y₁₂ pathways act to constrain activity in the ENS, which could have implications in mechanisms that contribute to enteric hyperexcitability following disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":20952,"journal":{"name":"Purinergic Signalling","volume":" ","pages":"1033-1048"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12594626/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142751516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective was to evaluate periodontal clinical parameters, modulation of the purinergic system and inflammation in patients with PD, compared to individuals without the disease. This is a cross-sectional study with 25 healthy individuals (CT group) and 57 individuals with PD, where blood and saliva collection and isolation of blood components were carried out.

Adenosine deaminase activity in saliva (p < 0.0001) and serum p < 0.05) from individuals with PD were significantly higher compared to the CT group.

Guanosine and inosine, purine nucleosides with neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties, have demonstrated beneficial effects in models of neurotoxicity, ischemia, and septic shock. This study evaluated the acute effects of guanosine and inosine in fluid resuscitation, focusing on brain energy metabolism, neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and hemodynamic responses in a porcine model of HS. Thirty pigs (25-30 kg) underwent controlled hemorrhage to achieve a target mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 40 - 45 mmHg, maintained for 60 min. Animals were randomized into three resuscitation groups: Lactated Ringer's solution (LR), LR + guanosine (1 mmol/L), and LR + inosine (1 mmol/L), administered over 15 - 20 min. Hemodynamic, metabolic, and neuronal parameters were monitored for 440 min post-HS, with serial blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sampling to assess glutamate, lactate, glucose, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), and inflammatory cytokines. HS induced metabolic acidosis, increased CSF glutamate levels, and elevated proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-8). Guanosine and inosine reduced glutamate levels more rapidly than LR alone and attenuated IL-1β and TNF-α elevations. Inosine resuscitation improved MAP, systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), and end-diastolic volume index (EDVI), suggesting enhanced hemodynamic stabilization. Guanosine and inosine modulated neuroinflammatory and metabolic responses in HS, reducing excitotoxicity and inflammatory cytokine release. Inosine also demonstrated hemodynamic benefits.

Polymorphisms in the P2RX7 gene have repeatedly been associated with psychiatric disorders including major depression. Depression is a stress-related disorder in which a dysregulation of the immune system has attracted increasing attention as a potential disease mechanism. The well-documented role of P2X7 in inflammatory conditions advocates its involvement in immune system dysregulation and depression genesis. However, understanding its exact role requires further research using appropriate animal models. Unfortunately, some of the most widely used P2X7 knockout mouse models are limited in their utility by the continuous expression of certain P2rx7 splice variants or even activation of de novo transcripts. To overcome this limitation, we generated a novel constitutive and complete P2X7 KO mouse line. These KO mice lack all known murine splice variants and protein expression resulting in a loss-of-function as confirmed by calcium imaging and by the inability of P2X7-deficient peritoneal macrophages to mount an appropriate interleukin (IL)-1β response. Comprehensive characterization using a battery of tests assessing locomotion, anxiety- and depression-related as well as social behaviour revealed differences in locomotor and exploratory behaviours. P2X7 KO mice showed slightly increased locomotor activity and reduced anxiety-related behaviour at baseline. Under conditions of chronic stress exposure, genotype-dependent differences largely dissolved while P2X7 deficiency promoted enhanced stress resilience with regard to social behaviour. Taken together, our findings add further evidence for an involvement of the P2X7 in shaping different behavioural responses and their modulation by stressful environments. This novel loss-of-function model will contribute to a better understanding of P2X7 in stress-associated behaviours in basic and translational neuropsychiatric research.</p>","PeriodicalId":20952,"journal":{"name":"Purinergic Signalling","volume":" ","pages":"1077-1092"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12595207/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143537776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
